Maori Sacred Site. Stunning View! The Northernmost Point of New Zealand.

📍New Zealand🇳🇿New Zealand | Cape Reinga Located about a 5.5-hour drive north from Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, is Cape Reinga, the northernmost point of the country. This place is deeply connected to the legends passed down by the Maori people and is said to be the place where souls depart. There is a lone Pohutukawa tree (pictured in the 6th photo) standing on the cliff, and according to mythology, the souls of the deceased travel through the roots of this tree to reach the place where the ancestors of the Maori people reside. It was a very refreshing place with clear air✨

Cape Reinga

Cape Regina is at the northern end of the North Island of New Zealand. An ancient pohutukawa tree and lonely lighthouse mark this special place, it holds great significance in Maori Culture. This is the place where spirits come to descend into the underworld. A 4 kilometers 8 minutes drive, we reach Te Paki Stream to have the sand boarding fun, then we proceed to the nintey-Mile Beach drive. I took the day tour from Paihia that is 200 kilometers away to Cape Regina. Pahia have more accommodation and restaurants.
